It sounds like you know what you are getting into PeeBee,
The issue which concerned me, the over 20% charging current with possible shortened battery lifespan is a matter of choice. Fair enough.
It is also a matter of choice to accept shortened battery lifespan resulting from only charging them to 80% Soc on a regular basis. It is my belief that this is the reason that people generally get 5 years or less from crank batteries.
Alternatives which result in longer battery lifespan may well not be cost effective however.
If you were so inclined I for one would be interested to hear how the system works out over time.
